Understanding the Units

What is a Cup?

In US cooking, a cup measures volume, not weight. One standard US cup holds 236.588 ml of liquid. Because different ingredients have different densities, a cup of one ingredient can weigh very differently from a cup of another.

What is a Pound?

A pound (lb) is a US customary unit of weight equal to 453.592 grams or 16 ounces. It is used for larger quantities of ingredients like flour, sugar, and meat.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 310.41 lb, based on onions (diced) having a density of 160g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
